"...I stole his gummy bears."
Syd gasped, Amanda fainted (feinted?) into Gem's lap, and Arwen burst out laughing and fell to the floor.
"You stole his…his gummy bears?" Arwen said, still laughing rather loudly, drawing attention from all over the Three Broomsticks
"I just meant it as a joke! But he obviously took it personally…" Summer said with her bottom lip slightly quivering.
"But then what was all this talk about him saying you had rejected him…" said Syd, while Gem was hauling Amanda up to the bar calling for chica to get the biggest bucket of water possible.
"Oh, heh…that…" Summer said as she strummed her fingers nervously on the table and stared at the ceiling.
Arwen, who had overcome her laughter, and was now sitting back down in her seat, started to say something, when Amanda marching back with her robes and hair soaked, Gem following behind her also looking very wet.
"What happened to you two?" Asked Summer, happy to have another topic of conversation instead of her and her Snapey-poo.
"Miss Gemius here decided to dunk me in a basin of water…" Amanda replied tartly. "To make me wake up apparently…so I decided that if I was going to be wet," Amanda sat down , making the chair go *squish*, "Then she was going to be, too. So I pulled her in!"
Gem was now sitting in a chair with her arms crossed and looking away from Amanda, looking very perturbed and annoyed. She looked at Syd and said "I was only trying to wake her up…she fainted right on to me!"
"Did not!" screamed Amanda.
"Did so!!" screamed Gem back.
"Anyways!" Arwen yelled which stopped the two arguing. "Summa! Give us the scoop on what happened between you and Snape! It can't just have been over gummy bears!!"
"Oh alright…if you insist…"
But Snape interrupted before Summer could start…
"The SOOOOOUUUND of your voice…. Even if you're not with me… I'm WIIIITTTTH YOOOOOU!!!" Snape screamed, doing karaoke to Linkin Park. He then collapsed on the table, making it break and Summer, Syd, Manda, Gem, and Arwen jump.
"What the friggen wrighsodfhsn.drjgh.zkjfghf??!?!?!" Chica screamed and rushed over to get Snape away. She waved her wand and the table flew back together.
"Sorry everyone," she said "Snape's had a rough day…" she said, and nodded her head ever so slightly to Summer. She then dragged Snape away to the bucket of water Gem and Amanda had just left.
"My life… my pride…. is broken…" he mumbled while being dragged by chica.
"More than your pride will be broken soon if you don't start walking!" chica said, and slapped him over the head with her wand.
"So, tell us already! What happened?" Amanda asked excitedly.
"Well, ya see it's like this." Summa said slowly. "You know that one time when Arwen gave us that assignment about truth serums and I sneaked out of class to talk to Snape?"
Everyone nodded knowingly, and Arwen pretended to be surprised.
"After class, the full effects of the serum hadn't gone away. I could answer questions that weren't yes or no, but I still had to answer questions truthfully that were yes or no. So I went to go tell Severus-er-Snape Thanks for helping out with it, and he asked me a most unexpected question."
At this point, everyone was listening so intently they didn't notice anything. Syd actually fell off her chair and laid there awhile before she realized where she was and sat back up.
"He asked me if I thought he was hot."
Arwen screamed, Amanda fainted again, Syd fell off her chair, and Gem… well, she couldn't really do anything except crack up because Amanda knocked her down.
"And what did you say?" asked Arwen.
"Er.. well… you know I had to tell him the truth… so…"
"You actually told Professor Snpae that you thought he was hot?" Gem asked skeptically.
Summa got this weird smile on her. "Yea."
*awkward moment where nobody talks*
"So…. How did you reject him?" Syd inquired, not really wanting to break the awkward silence.
"Well..." Summer continued, her face turning as bright as a tomato. She took a deep breath. "He and I talked for a while..."
"How long is a while?" Amanda asked, awaking once again and standing up.
"Like...a few hours," Summer replied shyly.
"A few hours is how many hours?" Gem asked, still giggling slightly.
Summer couldn't hide her smile. "I saw him at about 11 that night, and we talked until the sun came up the next morning."
The other girls simply gawked at her.
"I didn't know he was capable of such human contact..." Arwen gasped.
"He's a really sweet guy when you get to know him," Summer smiled. She sighed lovingly, and continued. "Apparently he had always thought I was one in a million, too. Ever since I turned the ripe age of 16 he had thought I was...I believe 'enchanting' was the word he used..."
The other girls all looked at her oddly.
"SNAPE said that?" Syd guffawed. Summer ignored her shock and continued to talk.
"Anyways," Summer continued, "we were talking about how much we liked one another....but I dunno. I told him it was weird. He's my teacher, and my idol. I told him that it'd have to at least wait until I graduated, and if we were still interested after that, then maybe something would become of us..."
"So you basically turned him down?" Amanda asked.
"No," Summer replied quickly. "No, I just told him...we're both in difficult spots in out lives right now. I'm too involved with my schooling...It would just be too hard if we started anything right now."
"Not to mention illegal," Gem whispered to Arwen. Arwen suddenly smiled brightly. She walked closer to Summer and lightly punched her in the arm. "Sooooo," she said with a chuckle, "what were you and Sevey-poo doing in the back of my shop, then?"
Everyone smiled and looked at Summer with anticipation. Summer's eyes widened. She blushed, sighed, and answered....
"Weelll....?" Syd asked.
"Well, we, er, er were just, talking. About how since CandleLit technically doesn't have years, I could graduate anytime now..." Summer responded
"NOOOOOO!" yelled Gem, tipping over the menu that was enchanted to stand straight up. "First you're considering switching to Gryffie, now you might leave altogether? I won't let you!" and she proceeded to cling to Summa's leg
And at that moment, unbeknownst (sp? I dunno, but it's a funny word!^-^)to them, Snape then approached the group of girls, and smacked Gem upside the head.
"Don't you-a-go'n touchin' mah Summmmmmmmmmmaaaa! " He said drunkenly, sounding remarkably like Chica. Then ignoring the rest of the girls altogether, he turned to Summer. "And why you be doin' that? First you be saying that I'm seeexxxxy, then I see youmaking out with Tom Riddle? What up wiv dat?"
Summer turned a brilliant shade of magenta. Well, not really, it's just cool to say that. SHe just blushed really hard ;) "Well, it's not like anything was happening, I just said we'd have to wait til I graduated! And plus, Tom is.. just a friend."
"With benefits..." Arwen whispered smugly under her breath to Amanda.
"And plus, he's 16, so it's not like it's be... kinda wierd, ya know?" Summa added.
"EXCUSEEEEE MEE!" screamed Snape "That I'm not a 16 you old hunk of burning flesh! But let me ask you this, can he make even a decent Polyjuice Potion? Huh? HUH?" *ka-thunk*
The girls nodded in acknowledgement to Snape's point. Then Arwen stopped giggling and looked serious.
"Wait, wait a sec. You made out with Tom? WHEN?" Arwen stood up and knocked her chair over. The girls looked at her and Summer just said lazily "Oh like a week ago. We had a little fling."
"Why do you care Arwen?" asked Syd.
"Cause-well I was trying to keep it secret, but we've been going out. For a month!" fussed Arwen as tears welled up in her eyes. "YOU HOOCHIE! You stole my man!" shouted Arwen as she ran from TTB. Syd looked confused, and Amanda seemed to think it all very funny.
"But I thought…hmm…what happened to Draco?" Gem asked Summer in a near whisper.
"Draco-DRACO MALFOY? UGH!" Snape's eyes buldged. "You're going out with that little pansy ass? Holy shit, Summer, what kind of scarlet woman are you?"
Now Summer was getting upset at being attacked. "Well why don't you pull your head out of your multi-colored thong covered ass and wake up, Severus? A girl has to have options!" Summer said in a huff.
"I dunno Summer, it's not very nice to have three boyfriends." said Syd.
"Summer," said Snape, standing right in front of her, "pick one of us."
"But…but I…well…er" stammered Summer, looking around for a distraction…
"Hey....what's THAT?" Summer asked in a dramatic voice, pointing to behind Snape and the girls.
"Huh?" they all said, turning their heads away in unison to look to what she was pointing at. As they did, Summer sneakily began to walk towards the door.
"Oh no you don't!" said Arwen, running after her and tackling her to the ground.
"Ouchie!! Racy A, quit it!" Summer said as Arwen struggled to put Summer in a headlock.
"Did he say that he loved you???" she asked with a hint of insanity in her voice.
"Tom?" Summer asked warily. "Well, yeah, but-"
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!" Arwen cried, like a wolf howling at the moon. "He loves me! He said so! He doesn't love you!"
Summer was finally able to stand up. "Oh, heeelllll no!" Summer said, snapping her finges across Arwen's face. "He don't want no trash like you." Gem, Snape, Manda, and Syd all began to boo at Summer. "Aaaaand what?" Summer yelled bakc at them. "Ya'll don't know me! Yeah, you wanna peice'a'this?"
It was then that Arwen picked up a steel folding chair and hit it across Summer's back.
The crowd cheered. "JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!"
The TTB security guards broke up the fight, having to physically restrain the two girls.
"WENCH!" Arwen screeched as she was pulled away. "WEEEEEEEEEEEENCH!" The guards took her out of the store, and were threatening to do the same with Summer.
"No!" said Snape, walking briskly towards the two. "She can stay."
"Says who?" said a rather cheeky security guard.
"Yo momma!" replied Gem. "And bring back Arwen, too!"
"No need for that," Snape replied darkly. "She hurt you." He reached out his arm and caressed Summer's left cheek, where there was a large bruise form Arwen's wrathful fists.
Gem swooned. "I wonder if he was that romantic when he was younger?" she whispered to Syd and Manda. The girls watched on.
The guards, eventually learning that Snape was a respectful staff member, released Summer. She stood alone and beaten, looking to Snape, who was looking right back at her. "Thanks," she whispered.
"You'll have to choose now," he replied. He took her hand in his, ignoring the disgusted noises coming from other students in TTB. "It's me, or Tom...or Draco."
"Or Krum," said Manda. "Summer always used to hook up with Krum in the older Slytherin fics."
"Or Lucius Malfoy," added Gem. "She had an infatuation with him for a while, too."
"And Terrence Higgs," added Syd nonchalantly.
"And Marcus Flint," added Manda with a wicked smile.
Snape's face twisted into a scowl. "KRUM?" He spat. "But he's foreign!!! AND duck-footed!"
"There there, Billy," Gem said softly, walking towards Snape and taking a hold of her arm.
"My name isn't Billy," Snape replied in confusion, pulling his arm away from Gem's. He looked back to Summer. "Choose," he said quietly.
Summer once again was looking for a way out of the situation. Her prayers were eventually answered. Gem, Summer, Manda, and Snape all suddenly grabbed at their left forearms with painful expressions on their faces. Summer lifted up her sleeve to reveal a thick, black, Dark Mark tattooed onto her arm. Voldemort was calling a meeting.
"Can I come?" asked Syd excitedly.
"But...But you're a Hufflepuff," Snape replied slowly.
"She can come," Manda replied hastily. "Just pretend that you're a Slytherin and they won't hurt you. Act like a bad-ass."
Syd looked unsure, but nodded her head in agreement anyways. She tried to put a mean, togh expression on her face. "Boo yeah," she said.
"Racy A will probably be going to it, too," said Summer. "We should show up before she does. I don't want her talking trash about me to Tom."
And with that, they all disapparated to wherever the Death Eater meeting would be at....
